    Used to play this on Athens, GA's black-owned AM station:

    Thundercat's 'Bus in These Streets' (chords would wig-out Clare Fischer).

    When at a mom-n-pop record store in Anniston, Alabama, the owner mentioned a previous serious digger. "He bugged me about my back stock cause he was running the Capitol label." My quick reply was, "Well, I hope the guy has executive experience."

    By the late 60's, Hentoff's liners were quite Byzantine. Not as LSD saturated as Ralph J. Gleason's.
  5. Bill Nelson
    Buddy DeFranco & Tommy Gumina Quintet (3 LPs on Mercury, 1962-64, and one on Decca, 1961). As Johnny Carson might say, "That's some wild, wild stuff."

    Are all those box sets 'inbound' or 'outbound' for a new assignation?

    The 2026 release schedule fills me with inertia -- and will leave my wallet intact.

    In 1959, during his live 'Evening Wasted With' LP, Harvard math professor Lehrer stopped his singing to say: I hope you don't think I do THIS for a living. Why, I can make five or six thousand dollars a year JUST TEACHING." "

    Adding 'em to 'Sound Savers' or 'Factory Sealed for Your Protection'. Or, more specifically: 'Includes the hit single, 'What A Fool Believes'

    It gets idiotic Stateside with completists who trim and save the hype stickers slapped on the LP shrink wrap. No claims of 'aesthetics' or 'inherent artwork' should include stick-on marketing hokum.

    From the excellent 1972 LP, 'Life, Love, and Faith' with the Meters.
  12. Bill Nelson
    Self-indulgent liner notes by Ralph J. Gleason, of which, "there's nothing more pathetic than an aging hipster."

    It was Hurricane Milton that really hit Sarasota with 10-12 inches of rain. The Van Wezel is/was the venue for the annual Joys of Jazz concerts featuring Dick Hyman's pals and Concord label artists.

    TJB at Sarasota's Van Wezel? The front rows must've dried from Helene's flood water.

    As Mike Nichols quipped about Gertrude Stein: "What a gal! They don't make 'em like THAT anymore." In every role, Maggie Smith always let you know she was there.
